It’s rained serious last few days in the Houston Texas area. It’s going to be a while before I get to the track and I have a new scooter in the garage I want to ride. Houston’s been in a sort of drought for a while. We have flash flood warnings to night till midnight. It’s rain hard enough and long enough the tracks will be closed for a while around here for a while my best guess. The track I go too Ultimate Motocross dries out finally quickly, has a fair amount of sand but not a sand track. But with the amount we’ve received will take a while to dry out.

How bout you guys, rain/weather have have your scooters stuck in the garage.

Thanks Billy

It seems like it only rains on the weekends and if it’s not raining it’s too cold to ride where I am now. November - feb is one big depression session unfortunately.

The weather in SE Texas doesn’t get real cold other than an odd year every now and then. But it can dang sure rain.

My boy has a 125 that we haven't been able to ride yet. Between rain tomorrow, cold weather and wrestling tournaments we are just stuck and I don't like it.

The desert southwest is the only place to be for year round riding … yes even in the summer …. drink water, be a man!

Rained heavy in south Louisiana. Glad we have some sand tracks.

Does it rain here in Southern California? Nope. It was 80 degrees today and sunny. I think we go back into the upper 60s and sunny next week.

It’s 6:45 am in League City, Texas and it raining little alien monsters SR Om outer space and hammers to kill um with. Supposed to slack up and blow over in a couple of hours.

I need to get going to the track out of my head. I’m retired now, I get to go to the track during the week when only a few people are out. Make a few laps, set in my chair under a tree drink a Mountain Dew or Coke, play on my phone make a few more laps. Not a bad way to spend retirement.

You gotta be talking about 3 Palms! That seems to be my exact routine every time I’m down there! It’s pouring up here in Athens until this afternoon, then sunny Sunday and Monday before more rain. Not sure anyone around here will open this weekend. Maybe the new Athens MX sand track, but the main track will be flooded for sure.

We rode Buffalo on Wednesday after it rained and the track was perfect. May have to do some driving to find a place but plan to ride tomorrow somewhere.

That's heavy mate, fair play, down South everything closes if there's been a cloud spotted nearby...

I ride Ultimate a lot.

Monday riding before Glenn has smoothed out the braking bumps and refilled ruts is the best. Tuesday is a close second since the track is nice and smooth, but dried out. Rest of week is all about the same: dry, dusty, rough, but free of people. Saturday or Sunday afternoons are best combo of track prep and lack of people.

I “work from home” a lot so go riding when the time is right.

Hope to catch you out there sometime. Ultimate is a good track. I park under the tree on the left before the curve, Matte Black 97 Tahoe.

That looks rough, how was the practice track? I’ve just rebuilt my rm and want to run it in but not exactly the conditions for it! Nice one on getting out after all the rain we’ve had.

Frozen ground, snow, ice, and freezing fog for the next 4 months. Sad

Fair play for getting out there. Fatcats is usually a rut fest this time of year but must have been bad Sunday going by the pic of the race track. They’ve shut ingoldmells as well for some reason, that would have been rideable this time of year.

It got plenty ruty but it’s only to be expected with all the rain we’ve had
